Some Background

2300AD was a hard science fiction role playing game published by GDW.
GDW were also behind Traveller, the oldest and most popular science
fiction role playing game, and other titles such as Twilight:2000 and
Dark Conspiracy. Sadly, GDW folded in 1996 due to financial problems,
and their titles have been bought up by other companies. The rights to
Traveller have reverted back to the original owner, Marc Miller, and it has
been re published by Imperium Games.
2300AD has been purchased by Tantalus Inc.
, a computer software company who wish to develop the background but who are
not revealing if there will ever be a third edition of the actual game.
( Though they did start work on some computer based conversions of Star Cruiser
a few years back ).

Resources

Right, here's some stuff from my personal campaign. I will update these links as I
get time to convert the original material to HTML documents.

Links to other 2300AD sites

Pentapod's World
This page maintained by Kevin Clark and is home to the "Best of the 2300AD Mailing List"
archives and a number of reprinted Challenge articles. It is also the "Official" archive
of Jay Adan's 2300AD Resource.

Andy Slack's Halfway Station 2300 AD Page
Andy Slack used to write loads of articles for White Dwarf and Challenge magazine, and has republished a load of them
on his web site. Some of Andy's articles ( especially the Snowbird Mystery back in WD42 ! ) are my all time
favourites, so go on and check this lot out ...

Brian Hoover's 2300 Mailing List Archives
Brian maintains complete archives of everything that is posted on the 2300AD mailing list. Well
worth a browse if you have missed out on earlier digests, especially since your questions
may already be answered ...

Andy Goddard's 2300AD pages
are simply excellent. He's got deck plans for a Kafer Cruiser and some 3D (!) deck plans for
the American "Kennedy" class, which simply have to be seen.
Unfortunately, Andy has decided to remove these pages for the time being after he
was offended by the attitude of some members of the 2300AD mailing list. Hopefully he will restore
them in the near future, or at least let someone else host them. At the moment, this
page muses about the future of 2300AD.
